Meanwhile, working communities, black and brown communities, face disproportionate pollution, lack access to clean energy, and remain vulnerable to storms and flooding. This webinar tackles these urgent issues head-on, examining concrete policy solutions while offering options to frame affordability and environmental protection in ways that resonate with voters.

DECF Endorses Jose Javier Rodriguez for Florida Attorney General!
Florida MUST elect an attorney general who will enforce our environmental laws and hold polluters and destroyers of the environment accountable. We believe strongly that José Javier Rodríguez will achieve these goals. He is running against James Uthmeier, who famously orchestrated the detention center in the everglades and has worked against the will of Floridians.

A Message from DECF President:
Judy Freiberg
We live in a unique era of history, one that demands that environmental issues like the climate crisis, environmental destruction, pollution, and environmental justice stand at the forefront of political advocacy and action. That is the mission of the Democratic Environmental Caucus of Florida – to elect Democrats who will provide local, state, national, and international leadership on these critical concerns, leaders who will inspire and demand that we all step up to these formidable challenges no less than during a world war, and in doing so redefine our generation to those who follow. We must leave our descendants a livable nation and planet. Your participation in DECF can help you answer the question that children will surely ask in the years and decades to come…what did you do during during this time?
